A new genetic sequencing technique has revealed 21 subtypes of neurons throughout the mouse spinal cord and offered insight into how these neurons control movement.

Small changes in the structure of DNA have been implicated in breast cancer and other diseases, but they've been extremely difficult to detect -- until now.

Researchers have bioengineered a microbe to efficiently turn waste into itaconic acid, an industrial chemical used in plastics and paints.

Researchers have identified how natural human antibodies can block malaria parasites from entering red blood cells, potentially indicating how new protective therapies could be developed against this globally significant disease.

A new study indicates that the Brazilian coronavirus variant, P.1, is more transmissible than other strains of SARS-Cov2 and might be able to evade immunity gained from previous infection with coronavirus.

A grass commonly used to fight soil erosion has been genetically modified to successfully remove toxic chemicals left in the ground from munitions that are dangerous to human health, new research shows.

Researchers at the National Institutes of Health have devised a four-part small-molecule cocktail that can protect induced pluripotent stem cells from stress and maintain normal stem cell structure and function.

A new study is drawing the most detailed picture yet of SARS-CoV-2 infection in the lung, revealing mechanisms that result in lethal COVID-19, and may explain long-term complications and show how COVID-19 differs from other infectious diseases.

According to a study, an experimental treatment produced improvements in cognitive function and language in patients with fragile X syndrome, the most common known genetic cause of autism and the most common cause of inherited intellectual disability.

Researchers have compiled a genetic database for autoimmune and autoinflammatory diseases which will allow experts to more deeply understand how immune disorders develop and plan future drug discovery projects.
